JOHN BLUE, OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.

KEY-RING- HOLDER.

Application filed September 30, 1918.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN BLUE, citizen of the United States, residing at Seattle, in the county of King and State of WVashington, 'have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Key-Ring Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in key ring holders and'has for its principal object to provide an improved and novel key ring holder which is attachable to the persons and from which the key ring may be easily released by proper manipulation and which holds the ring securely against accidental release; to provide a key ring holder of novel construction and extreme simplicity.

Other objects will appear as my invention is more fully explained in the following specification, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a front view of my device. Fig. 2 is an edgewise view of same. Fig. 3 is a back view of same.

Referring more particularly to the drawings numeral 1 indicates a metal disk having a perforation 2 near its edge. A latch plate 3 is held against the back of disk 1 by means of a spring 4: which is secured tothe back of the disk. Latch plate 3 is bent so that the spring 4 holds it normally as shown in Fig. 2 with the front edge held away from the disk. A hook 5 is integral with the front of latch plate 3 and passes through perforation 2 and terminates in an offset open hook beyond the face of disk 1. Hook 5 is normally closed by the surface of disk 1 thus being normally a closed hook which Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May '20, 1919. Serial No. 256,218.

A pin 7 is fastened to the plate 3 and is used to secure the holder to the person.

IVhile I have shown a particular form of embodiment of my invention; I am aware that many minor changes therein will readily suggest themselves to others skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, and I therefore desire to avoid being limited to the exact form shown and described.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is

Ina device of the class described the com bination of a disk having a perforation adj acent its edge, a spring secured to the back of said disk, a bent latch plate in contact with the back of said disk, an open hook integral with said latch plate and-projecting through the said perforation in the disk,'a spring secured to the back of said disk and engaging said latch plate oppositely the said hook, whereby the open face of the said hook is S:r11{ormal1y held against the face of the said di In testimony whereof I aflix my signature Witness MARGUERITE LEYDA.
